In the early 1950s, the Centurion medium tank entered service in the Swedish army, yet a lighter and more maneuverable vehicle was required. It was decided to modernize the old Strv m/42 vehicles by equipping them with a new turret and armament. The tank received a new name, Strv 74. A total of 225 vehicles were manufactured from 1957 through 1960. The Swedish army continued to use the vehicle until the end of 1984.

Developed on the basis of the Lago medium tank in the 1930s. The 75-mm Bofors gun was mounted on the 22.5-ton tank. A total of 282 vehicles of different variants were produced. The TM, TH, and TV variants used the Scania-Vabis L-603 twin engines, which provided 160 h.p., while the Strv m/42 EH tanks were powered by a single Volvo A8B engine that provided 370 h.p.

Development was started in 1936 by the Landsverk company. The new vehicle incorporated some elements
of the L-60 light tank. In 1939, Hungary took an interest in the project. By the time the first prototype was produced in 1940, Hungary decided to develop their own medium tank on the basis of the Škoda Т-21. Later, some technical solutions were applied in the development of the Strv m/42 tank.

Further development of the UDES 14. The project combined the best elements of the UDES 15 (developed by Bofors) and the UDES 16 (developed by Hägglunds). The project became the main variant of traditional design for a Swedish tank, but later it was discontinued in favor of a variant with a remotely controlled turret. The full-scale prototype was built, and elements of the vehicle were used in subsequent Swedish projects.
